Variation in tolerance to heterospecific pollen from a non-native congener depends on co-existence history of maternal and paternal source populations.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
premisePlants in sympatric populations with congeners may have evolved tolerance to the negative effects of heterospecific pollen (HP) through selection on female or male reproductive traits. If so, then the degree of HP tolerance may vary depending on the co-existence history of the maternal and paternal plant source populations. Empirical evidence from species with a known history of contact is limited.
methodsThis study focused on sympatric and allopatric populations of the native Oxalis corniculata and its recently arrived congener O. dillenii in Japan. Specifically, we conducted heterospecific and conspecific crosses with O. corniculata and two sequential pollination treatments using conspecific (CP) followed by heterospecific (HP) pollen, with CP donors from sympatric or allopatric populations.
resultsHeterospecific crosses revealed lower seed production in O. corniculata than conspecific crosses, with sympatric populations showing a significantly greater reduction. Sequential pollination experiments reduced conspecific seed production, particularly when both the recipients and CP donor originated from sympatric populations.
conclusionsOur results suggest that individuals from sympatric populations may mitigate the negative effects of HP caused by hybrid seed formation. Furthermore, the variation in tolerance to the inhibition of conspecific fertilization by HP could be attributed to the recipient and CP donor origins. But the unexpectedly high susceptibility of sympatric populations to HP highlights the complex ecological and evolutionary factors that influence HP tolerance.
